    Meredith has told Derek that she does not know how to have a normal relationship. She is so use to protecting herself and fending for herself. She will only let people in so far. For her when bad things happen, you shut people out and drink. Derek has tried so hard to help Meredith to open up to him. He wants to share in her life's ups and downs. She was just starting to open to him and then he comes over and finds her with her friends drinking. He may be letting her have her space and that is good. But you notice he was literally on the outside looking in. It is like Meredith has closed down to him again. I am sure that it is exhausting him, putting himself on the line, over and over to be rejected. He loves her, but some people can only take so much rejection. I think that Burke is having doubts because everyone does. He does have to lead and the Cristina follows. Cristina is changing to be more what Burke wants. Sometimes that is ok and it works for a relationship, we will have to wait and see if it is ok with this one.

    This won't make it as a new show--at least it won't keep me. Kate Walsh shines, but the other characters are boring. Some of the Seattle Grace interns, residents and attendings are beginning to wear thin, and they're not much like real doctors, but the LA crowd is beneath believability.

    Yeah I could totally see that happening! Kind of like him saying "I'm not putting in all the effort anymore", which is a juxtaposition from Burke and Christina as Burke readily admits "I make the effort and Christina eventually follows".

    Hey mcdreamy02! I hope that Burke and Cristina will be ok to and hope your right abot how Burke leads and Cristina follows, and maybe that is ok for them! I really hope so! I am just totally feeling a little sad after this episode because of them, but also because of Mer I just felt reallty bad for that girl! I mean her own father slapped her!and she lost her fake mommy who she was just getting to know and like! and then in next weeks episode Derek is at a bar and some girl asks if she can buy him a drink?!! no please I can't handle anymore drama for Burktina or Merder! the writers need to give it a rest with them they have been through enough already! Seriously Shonda needs to give it a rest because i am kind of begining to doubt her with where she is leading all of these characters!

    The only thing I don't like about this girl offering to buy Derek a drink is the fact that she's obviously one of those women who goes after what she wants....Meredith could be in for one hell of a battle.

    Well here is the other thing I noticed. Last week, Meredith was even trying a little bit TOO hard on the whole communicating thing and did it seem to you that Derek was getting a little annoyed by Meredith telling him her every move? I mean I know I was getting annoyed myself. I wish there was just a happy median with it. LOL. Meredith has absolutely NO problem communicating her feelings. She has proven that in the past when it comes to her relationship with Derek. Sometimes she even goes over and beyond what I would even consider saying to my husband. I dont know. The whole thing is just complicated lol

    Well she is damaged and does not understand what a healthy relationship looks like. She has never seen it modeled for her. So,m when she tries, she is making it up as she goes along. She could use some counseling and some one on one talks with Derek, were they talk about everything!
